Meet Ernie Crawford and James Weaver at drupa 2012
Event season begins in Europe soon and this year sees the return of the ‘Olympics of the Print Industry’, drupa, held in Dusseldorf, Germany. As with the Olympics, drupa takes place just once every four years, so is highly anticipated.
drupa won’t be the only event highlight of the year, of course, but it is a major event in the calendar. Important and often industry-defining our Director of Business Development, James Weaver, will be accompanied at drupa by our President and Founder, Ernie Crawford.
Ernie will be travelling from our headquarters in Toronto to visit the event between 6th to 10th May 2012, and both he and James would like to meet you.
If you’re going to drupa you are most likely starting to have booked meetings in your diary already, so why not get some time in the diary with James and Ernie now?
For existing customers, potential clients, current partners and future collaborators, a meeting with us at these events offers the chance to gain a serious return from your investment in these exhibitions.
You may want to discuss your existing CrawfordTech licences. You may wish to understand more about our products and services. Or you may wish to discuss supplying CrawfordTech products to your local marketplace. Whatever you wish to discuss, a face-to-face meeting will offer you real value from your time spent at these events.

Xplor 2011 International Conference and Vendor Forum
As a key sponsor of Xplor International, their yearly conference and forum is always important to Crawford Technologies. In 2011 however, the event – which was held in Tampa Bay, Florida - took on extra significance for CrawfordTech.
Attendance was up by 30% over last year’s Xplor global conference, a testament to the quality of the content Xplor had laid out for delegates. It seems that while many events are seeing a drop in numbers, people still want to come along and hear great educational sessions and good speakers.
Ernie Crawford spoke in four different sessions, including two keynote speeches and two panel discussions. Indeed, one of Ernie’s speeches entitled ‘33 Things you can do with a print file besides printing it’ was so popular, extra chairs were crammed into the available space to accommodate the attendees! Look out for a chance to see this online in a CrawfordTech Webinar soon.
Crawford Technologies received a number of accolades at Xplor 2011. In the Xplor Awards, our PRO Production Manager product received an Honourable Mention in the Innovator of the Year Award.
The Technology Application of the year Award was given to Merrill Corporation, one of our customers. With assistance from InfoPrint Solutions, Merrill has achieved major improvements in their operations by implementing advanced workflow solutions, a system that included CrawfordTech print stream transforms.The distinctions didn’t stop there. During the conference, attendees ranked the sessions they attended and prior to the last day, the rankings were calculated. One of the panels Ernie was on - ’Who Cares About Print Streams’ - won the Best of the Optimize Track. The panellists were asked to repeat this session so those who missed it the first time could enjoy the lively discussions
To underline the importance of Xplor to Crawford Technologies and the industry we work in, we are pleased to announce that we have increased our sponsorship level and are now Platinum Elite Sponsors of Xplor International. We will be participating in XDU On The Road conferences this year as well as a number of Xplor Webinars.Were you at Xplor 2011 in Tampa Bay? What did you think of the event?
